New Delhi (India Science Wire): With 43 members on board the 40th Indian Scientific Expedition is set to depart for Antarctica from Mormugao Port, Goa. On this occasion, Dr N.

Javed Beg, Group Director, National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) said, “Every expedition is different and presents diverse challenges, but the 40th expedition is unique, as it takes place amid the coronavirus pandemic with innumerable logistical challenges.  The expedition, apart from its scientific mission, shall carry out the humanitarian responsibility of relieving the 48-strong winter crew from their 15-month tenure, while resupplying the bases with food, fuel, provisions and spares for operations and maintenance of life support systems”.
